Mr. Slattery’s experience includes preparing many cases for trial and/or binding arbitration, including a recent victory in a binding arbitration where Mr. Slattery represented a former independent contractor/employee. His client sued his former employer for breach of contract (unpaid insurance commissions) and various tortuous business practices. Additionally, Mr. Slattery defended his client against accusations of misappropriating trade secret information and impermissibly setting up a competing business in breach of his independent contractor’s agreement. The arbitrator ruled in favor of Mr. Slattery’s client on 11 of the 12 counts and awarded his client almost $200,000 in total damages, including most of the cost of the arbitration, amounting to $28,000. The cross-complaint against the client was dismissed in its entirety.

Mr. Slattery has a strong command of litigation strategies designed to be dispositive of the dispute prior to protracted, expensive litigation.
